August Buys

AUGUST BUYS 

I am not the greatest person with money, I am sure any one who knows me knows this. I try and save, then something big always tends to happen and I need to fork out for something. But I have this huge great love for shopping. I have a vast range of scarves and bags in my wardrobe. Mostly because If I'm out and its cold I would go in any shop and buy a scarf. Its a silly logic, and actually thinking about it is most likely where my money goes. I did count about 24 scarves when I packed.. hmm and well I have a love for Ted Baker bags… drool..

Anyway, These are just a couple things I have brought last month. I did buy some cute things for my room. Which is currently all boxed up due to the fact I am moving next week YIPPEE. 

I went in MAC (hides) But I was super good and spent about £33.00 pounds in total! Plus the covent garden MAC shop in London, is lovely and so inviting so I cant really be blamed.

I brought a Palette £2.50 ish!

The Palette box thingy itself is about £15.00 

So you choose the inside, you can have one for bronzers which come with six bits or even less if you wanted too. 

Then of course you buy the eyeshadows separately for £10.00 each

I also got a beautiful new lipstick from MAC.

Another Creme sheen one (told you I loved them), very similar to the Modesty shade I used in the previous post, However this is in the shade Creme cup. It is gorgeous… a lovely pink rosy shimmer. 

What am I doing here.. errr

Its a pretty shade, Don't you think?

Another thing I got was a ring… Actually come to think of it I have A LOT of rings two.

This is such a pretty ring, Sterling Silver and Opal trilogy ring. 

This was actually a gift from my mum as my step dad works for the Jewellery Channel. So yay!

Since I have been working part time in a jewellery shop I have grown quite the collection of Rings, earrings and necklaces. 

But this is just such a different look and a completely different settings compared to the other rings and goes well with just about any outfit. Yes, It is on the ''engagement finger' I am not one too care. 

So if you haven't I would recommend trying the jewellery channel for jewellery, you do find some beautiful treasures.

My favourite Lipsticks for the fall/Autumn

  

My favourite Lipsticks for Autumn 

One huge thing I love about autumn is the fact I tend to be a little braver with my make up, And the first cold season without my bright red hair means I can experiment a little more. 

Before I had such problems finding dark lipsticks that didn't clash with the bright hair, Now with brunette hair I do get a lot more choice. 

So I have piled my FOUR favourite lipsticks I will be wearing a lot of the next couple months. Most of these will be the plummy/brown kind. But isn't that such a fab colour to wear this fall?

Mac - Creme Sheen in the shade Modesty.

This is such a pretty colour, Very neutral and versatile shade you can mix and match it with a lot of different make up styles. I wear this shade a lot in the spring too, its why I love the Creme sheen range from MAC,  It has a Strong pigment but has a lovely shimmery finish with a long hold. 

Kate Moss by RIMMEL in shade 04 - Rossetto 

Such a autumn colour! Its a lovely dark purple, One of the darkest shades I own. I tend to wear this with very little eye makeup, I don't like the whole Goth effect it can give with two much eye makeup. But for date nights and a little black dress this lipstick is perfect for it.

The only downside is that it doesn't have the same staying power as other lipsticks and can look patchy if you haven't applied enough to your lips. 

This was a gift from someone.. a VERY new brand to me

Helen E lipstick in shade Raspberry.

Now this little treasure is a find! It has a much smoother application then MAC and a lovely finish with very high pigment. It is a wine colour with a hint of both red and purple. However once on the lips it almost comes out with a little brown tint. I cannot rave about this lipstick without you guys buying one.

This will no doubt be my favourite for the autumn/winter months.

Mac lipstick from the Satin Range the Runaway Red 

My favourite red out of my collection, and one end up using most of the time. It has a smooth, silky application and really does last hours. If I'm going out sometimes I would apply this over the helen E - Raspberry and it becomes such a deep colour. 

Have you got any favourites for autumn?

What I am loving..

What I am loving at the moment..

FRINGE BAGS

I haven't seen many of these round, but from websites such as Next.com and ASOS.com these are the latest style in bags. 

I can imagine easily wearing this with a big jumper and boots, Or even over your coat when it gets colder. 

From Next.com

It's a very festival almost boho look, Which I am totally digging this month. Thinking about this bag is so versatile you can wear it with almost anything. 

I will have to invest in one, most likely from ASOS. As I am totally loving that website too. Do you own any of these, I would love to see the different styles. 

London

Day out in London

I always tell myself I should go london more, Surprising really as I go here couple times a month to see John. I never stop and wander around and actually spend time to shop, Maybe, I will make this a thing. To try and do this more. 

OXFORD STREET

It did not take us very long to get to the centre at all, Getting off at Regent park tube and enjoying a lovely stroll down to Oxford street to head to Apple. This is one thing I love, walking past the independent shops and seeing what goodies they have in side. I even found a Percy and Reed salon.. Might make a visit next time. 

WHAT I WORE 

Jacket - Old favourite from New Look 

Jewelled top - New Look 17.99

Long Skirt - from New Look 13.99

 ACCESSORIES 

Casio Sheen watch - 

Essie Peachy Nail Varnish

A very quiet side of London, 

As I was walking past Ted Baker in Regents street, I got handed one of these disks, which registering in store you get a free gift. Turned out to be a little keyring of big ben, Still nice idea Ted Baker!

Now, I have a complete guilty love for Ted Baker bags. The Ted Baker shop in Regents Street is no where as nice as the one in Covent Garden. The one in covent garden is a lot bigger in size with a wider range of both clothing and bags. And, as normal I came across a beautiful statement piece black leather bag.

Little cheeky Ted Baker not putting the prices on the bags in store. 

I did however look online when I got home! 

Way out my price range for a bag, But absolutely stunning. 

Also check out Ted's new range of pug bags online 

How gorgeous are these bags!!! 

 Go to www.Tedbaker.com for more bags!

One of the main reason I actually went to central London was to come to this apple store, I have had so many issues with my phone lately. Luckily it being 5 months old, I just got a replacement. 

A quick break at PRET before we got back on the tube to one of my favourite places covent garden.

 COVENT GARDEN 

One of my utterly favourite shopping places from now on, Ted Baker and MAC within a minute of each other….Heaven. In the main square you have Chanel, Dior and if you are a disney freak like me, you will love the Disney store. John was Happy there was a Penguin store, because he loves the clothes from there. 

Notice, How beautiful this place is too!

Covent garden Market 

Throughout the market there are so many street performers, and you have to give them credit they where very good. I am so surprised at how little shops I went into. I love shopping too, However I was on my best behaviour doing no unnecessary spending.

Yep, I gave in.. I will blog about what delights I brought from MAC later on.

One of the street performers, tightrope walker. 

This guy was actually really good, doing tricks for the kids and overall a very good entertainer. 

John

The food court, Me and John had such a problem with finding somewhere to eat. There was no spaces anywhere and it began to get a little tedious. The wrong time to eat swell as everywhere was packed. 

Where we ate

I don't know if you have ever walked in to a shop, brought something and thought Wow, I love this shop. Yet, had no idea what the shop was called well, I do this constantly. However after about an hour of digging I finally found the name - Belushi's.

Walking around quite hungry due to the fact we had not eaten, We managed to find this little gem of a bar. 

By gem, I mean a total winner. The deco of the place was right up my street the walls covered with musicians, Paramore, Elvis, green day posters. The staff where so friendly. I tipped too!

The food was delicious and the drink too!

For literally being right outside the main market at covent garden all the food here was well priced and lunch costing us about £35.00

John went for the 1/2 pound burger which as you can, Is huge. I opted for the pulled pork, which was so yummy. We also got this huge Jammy Jar drink to share, Which is called the Texan Iced Tea this has a lot of Black rum, Tequila, vodka, lemon juice and cola. This all went straight to my head after not eating till 3pm.

Very happy with his choice of burger, Which was HUGE. 

Some of my beauties.

After that lovely lunch which turned out to be one of the best burgers I have had in a while, we headed to this amazing sweet shop, I have blogged about this to check out my post before hand called SugarSin

With tired feet and full bellies we made our way back home!
